If you fancy a little music as you browse the site . . . . .

 


Our dancers, below, will carry on doing their own thing, oblivious to music genre and pace, lost in their own little world forever, but you can listen to whatever they're dancing to by using the Radio Tuna radio below. This player will give you a choice of radio stations from all over the world. To begin, click on the button for your preferred music genre - Classical, Brit Pop or Soul. Change stations using the back and forward arrows and control the volume with the slide bar by the speaker icon Click on 'Choose a Genre' to select the musical style you prefer to listen to. Select a station, then click on on the yellow 'Tune In' button to listen to what's on offer. The station of your choice will appear in its own window, and minimising that window will allow you to carry on listening as you browse our website.  If it doesn't happen adjust your 'Pop-up blocker' to allow pop-ups or hold down your keyboard 'Ctrl' key at the same time as clicking on 'Tune In'.

Roger Read's book Womlit's Rag is available on www.amazon.co.uk and elsewhere, including the publishers, Trafford, using this link www.trafford.com .

It revolves around "an unscrupulous band of pseudo newsmen who do their best to upset the status quo of responsible journalism and seek to undermine an honest, well-respected broadsheet, causing chaos in a quiet north-western community" (The Marpham and Tideswell Echo and Star). An Amazon purchaser comments -

" It has kept me smiling since Christmas Day. A well researched, humorous novel which portrays the daily drama of a small town newspaper in NW England in the recent years".

 

 

 

John Forbat has written three books, all of which are available on www.amazon.co.uk .

Use the link to Amazon to search for Entrepreneurship, the Seeds of Success, in which John uses his experiences to guide the would-be entrepreneur, The 'Secret' World of Vickers Guided Weapons, in which John calls on his time working for Vickers to tell the story of the company and take a look at missile and avionics systems, and finally, TSR2 Navigation: and Weapon Delivery, which is also available as TSR2: Precision Attack to Tornado and covers individuals involved with Vickers Guided Weapons and the first airborne integrated weapons system.
